On Tuesday, House Democrats launched a new demand for the Senate’s nascent impeachment trial of President Donald Trump: White House Counsel Pat Cipollone, who is helping to lead the president’s prolific legal defense team, must either disclose any pertinent information he has about Democrats’ substantive impeachment claims or otherwise be dismissed as a Trump defense lawyer at trial.
“President Donald Trump’s lead impeachment lawyer, White House Counsel Pat Cipollone, was a central witness to many of the facts of the case against Trump, House Democrats argued Tuesday, demanding that the Cipollone disclose any firsthand knowledge and warning that his role ‘threatens to undermine the integrity of the pending trial,'” Politico reported.
